Portal to Mars in Augmented Reality

SPOTLIGHT! On Women Who Changed the World

International Women’s Day has been commemorated across the world on March 8 since 1911, and every United States President has marked March as Women’s History Month since 1995. Although the right to vote is a common topic of study in classrooms when students examine women’s history, many more issues, perspectives, and accomplishments require investigation across history, literature, and the arts to more fully appreciate and understand what women’s history in the United States encompasses. On the next page, you’ll find five sources for free lessons and other resources for diving deeply into women’s triumphs in every arena.

Voices of America’s Future

The We Are America Project has engendered powerful, honest stories by high school students about their lives in America. The project was started by 18 students from Lowell High School (in Lowell, Massachusetts), who are working with teachers and young people across the country to define what it means to be American.

  1. How do we subscribe to this newsletter? I don’t see an RSS or sign up. Thanks!

  2. Thank you for your interest in VSTE and the Big Book Deals, and for letting us know that we need to do a better job of helping people understand how to subscribe to our RSS feeds.

    We have a page that explains the process of subscribing to a feed using Feedly but the link was not easy to find, buried under the About dropdown in the main menu. We’ve now made the link a separate item in the main menu and added a link to the Big Book Deal feed to the page.

    We hope this answers your question and that the changes help everyone better connect with VSTE.
